Fishing

Fishing is the first (and only) skill in Pokémon World Online. The fishing skill allows players to catch various amount of Pokémon with the use of the Old Rod (To use the rod, just face the water and press "2" on your keyboard). With the release of the skill, players were no longer allowed to fish wherever they wanted. A level system was introduced, which meant that players had to now gain levels (done by simply finding a Pokémon by fishing, not by battling it) to catch certain Pokémon. It should be noted that hooking Pokémon is not guaranteed, and in fact becomes quite rare depending on where you are fishing. In addition, running into Pokémon while surfing does not increase your fishing experience.

NOTE: Many maps have now been updated to a NEW FISHING LEVEL system:

New Fishing Level Guide:

Fishing level Zero - Magikarp under level 15. Goldeen in Viridian Forest Clearing

Fishing level 1 - All Pokémon under lvl 10 bar the exceptions.

Fishing level 5 - All Pokémon under lvl 20 bar the exceptions.

Fishing level 10 - All Pokémon under lvl 30 bar the exceptions.

Fishing level 20 - All Pokémon under lvl 40 bar the exceptions.

Fishing level 30 - All Pokémon over lvl 40 bar the exceptions.

Fishing level 30 - Shellder (Any Level), Staryu (Any level)

Fishing level 40 - Dratini (Any level), Shuckle (Any level), Politoed (Any level)

Add 5 fishing levels for higher evolutions, for example a level 25 Seaking would require a level 15 fishing skill.

Fishing Experience

Every time a Pokémon is encountered by fishing, fishing experience is granted, which adds up to level up the fishing skill; the fishing experience granted is identical to the base experience of the Pokémon hooked. If a Pokémon manages to break the line upon being fished, approximately 1/3rd of the Pokémon's base experience is granted towards the player's fishing experience.
